3 Wheel Pushchairs
If you're a keen jogger or simply looking for a stroller that is more flexible, 3 wheel pushchair s have it all. Three-wheel prams, with air-filled tires instead of the massive wheels typically found on jogging buggies designed for roads with paved surfaces are able to navigate woodland trails and cobbled streets.
Some models can be heavy and heavy due to their massive wheels. Make sure they fold up compactly and don't take up your entire boot space.
Stability
Many parents are turned off by three wheel pushchairs because of stories of them tipping over, but this is often down to poor quality or poorly designed models. When selecting a 3-wheeler it is crucial to test the stability of the buggy by trying it out in the person. You should also look at how it is simple to change direction or turn with the single front wheel, and how quickly it is possible to do it.
If you're planning to use your pushchair off-road, opt for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) which can withstand rough terrain. These tyres can take the bumps and sloughs of muddy trails or gravel tracks much better than plastic wheels that have been moulded and give your child a smooth ride. Some models come with an lockable wheel on the front, which can be used to navigate rough terrain.
All-terrain buggies may weigh more than standard buggies with four wheels. You might want to take into consideration the amount of space they'll take in the trunk of your car and if you'll be able to lift them up and down the stairs after they've been folded. It can be a challenge to lift them, so you should test them in person to determine how heavy they are.

Manoeuvrability
With two wheels in the back and a single wheel at the front, 3 wheel pushchairs can move and turn more easily than four-wheeled pushchairs.

Many 3-wheeled strollers also have a lock on the front wheel, making it easier to maneuver around tight corners.
